- Design Challenge
- The main challenge is how to best present the design idea under the limited budget. The designers need to balance the design sense and the realization possibility. Because of the modern style and the polyline form, it is more important to control the scale and modulus of materials. The multiple cutting of the material reduced waste and the imitation stone tiles formed a blue and white light color palette in harmony with the project theme.

- In order to convey the vision of the demonstration area, the sales center is set as the link point in the planning stage. In the front area, the waterscape and the polygonal coast form the main texture where green islands and paths float on the water surface; while there are open forest and grassland in the back area where the art gallery is the main body, creating a relaxing and pleasant landscape experience.
- Research
- The project aims to build a hidden coast landscape, which evokes people's yearning for a quiet coast and a comfortable life, and creates a pleasant experience of vacation. The client hopes to set off nature and architecture through artistic landscapes, creating a harmonious and comfortable space experience, so as to attract people, stimulate regional vitality and enhance the site value.
- Inspiration
